St. Thomas man facing hearing for allegedly trying to run over woman

Police: Man narrowly misses woman with pickup truck

CHAMBERSBURG &GT;&GT; Rodney Ray Runshaw, 35, will face a preliminary hearing on Tuesday for allegedly almost running over a woman with his Ford Ranger, according to court documents.

Runshaw, 5271 Jack Road, was allegedly chasing a woman in his black Ford Ranger in the 6300 block of Lincoln Way West, St. Thomas Township, on June 7 at 9:09 p.m., according to police.

According to charging documents, an unidentified witness told Pennsylvania State Police, Chambersburg, that he saw the dark colored pickup cut across oncoming traffic lanes, almost causing an accident, and run up over a bank and into the victim's yard. The witness also allegedly saw Runshaw get out of the truck, and the witness got Runshaw to leave.

Troopers spoke with the victim, who told them that she had been in an argument with Runshaw before the incident, according to court documents. She stated that she had stopped the truck and gotten out and attempted to get away from Runshaw prior to what the witness had reported.

It was then that Runshaw allegedly drove across oncoming traffic at her, and narrowly missed her by about two feet, according to police. The victim claimed that Runshaw allegedly turned around and came back, driving into a private yard. Runshaw allegedly circled around and almost hit her again, but stopped and got out of the vehicle. The witness then intervened, the victim told police.
